At a disadvantage on the scoreboard, Bayern could not turn the game in the first part. In a counterattack conducted for Benfica by Pavlidis, it fell within the area, but the referee indicated that there was no infraction. In the final stretch of the first period, Prestianni fell to the ground, apparently because of heat. He received medical attention and decided to continue playing.
As expected, Kompany made changes after the break. Harry Kane, Olise and Kimmich entered by Bischof, Gnabry and Palhinha. From the beginning of the second part, Bayern was another, with rhythm, fast, direct. Nothing to do with his image of the first part.
Anatoli Trubin, Benfica goalkeeper, held his team with three major interventions. First on a double occasion of Bayern (he saved a hand in hand with Leroy Sané and then he checked Müller’s shot, very centered). Then after an Olise center that went to Pavlovic’s feet. Trubin reacted with a great intervention with his foot. And finally beat Sané in another hand in hand.
